Im dead on at 100yds..Where i'll be hunting a 60 or 70 yard shot will be a long one..Most of them will probably be more like 40yds.

Mine is 1.5" high at 100 which puts me 1.5" low at 200. Gotta love those smokeless speeds. 2700+ fps
Ditto, that is @ what I am at for now.

I'm shooting open iron sights on a traditional ml. It will easily keep shots in the kill zone out to 100 yds. Probably wouldn't take a shot, while hunting, much farther than 50 yds or so.

2700+ fps Nice. What combination are you shooting to achieve this? How is recoil? How is accuracy? Thanks in advance.
